Reviews
Confused by whether this pill or that sup-plement is safe and effective? Is your "fat burner" truly thermogenic or simply burn-ing a hole in your wallet? This small vol-ume by a medical writer and a specialist in clinical nutrition gives the straight skinny on prescription and over-the-counter diet aids what does work, what doesn't, and what's still awaiting a definitive answer. Each substance entry includes details on the manufacturer, recommended dosage, background and research, product claims, side effects, precautions, and further sources of information. Excellent.
